they going to breed soon look how the male is cleaning the rock just under the anemone

good to see the tank bouncing back

What do you have as a cleanup crew? I don't see any snails or hermits? I'd def add some as they're excellent to clean up food the fish miss that's adding to your dino -> algae issue. As you mentioned dino's are from a lack of nutrients and often too much light, however balancing out the ecosystem is usually what I've found works best over my 22 years in the hobby. Also, look in to carbon dosing, that also will help if you're feeding a lot. Obviously water changes and a skimmer will also help out massively.

Nice video. I have almost the same coral and lighting setup as you. I have a bunch of Mushrooms, toadstools, finger leather and LPS.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i37cqGRvgKiihrs My finger leather is growing like crazy, literally by the day!

Good show

I bought 2 severums last week ... They were sold as Gold Severums , though they don't have red eyes ..they have a bit of yellow on their eyes and tips of their fins ...but they look white for the rest if the colour... Will they change to yellow or are they sounding like a hybrid? Thank you

Where did you get the scary drift wood great video.

You don’t cover your heater,filter intake or wave maker? Genuinely curious, I’m planning on getting an anemone and was thinking you had to basically safeguard all these things first.

Your tank looks like ass bro. I have a mature tank with all types or organisms and sponges but you really don’t need to have your tank looking like straight ass

Beautiful tank, but you don’t really have any aggressive fish. Sevs and geos generally do well with anything too big to eat

I'm still working on outcompeting the cyano in my saltwater tank. Phytoplankton helped me a lot with the dinos too! Can't wait to see how your tank grows! Stinks when crashes happen; the less fun side of the hobby. Good luck! 😁

Based on your recommendation and scoping out multiple others I finally decided on ordering one. Thanks for this video, hoss!

Thank You!!!!❤❤❤

Nice video! I’m new to the hobby and I wanted to ask what type of filter do you need, there was mention of a few. If you can provide some advice or resources that would be great. Thank you.

Can the bleeding heart , white skirt and black skirt cross breed ?

PFS is great, I have some in my indoor pond

My reef is similar, I picked up an aqueon 14g rimless cube on sale for 37, I also run an AC50 and the Fluval sea wavemaker and a fluval heater. The only part I spent a little more on was the light which is a kessil a80 blue that I got with the gooseneck for 165

This is an excellent video. Good info, a tank that is more like what most people have instead of the high price rimless tanks like red sea’s etc…with expensive equipment and stock. We need more relatable vids like this Great job- subbed

I lost my 25 gallon after 4 years due to power failure during Hurricane Helene. I also lost mostly everything in my 10 gallon except one zebra hermit, some GSP, and a Kenya Tree. In regards to the dinoflaggelates, I struggled with them for several months until I finally performed two blackout periods.

I have a 10 gallon tank do u recommend 1 or 2

Beautiful, beautiful tank

You will get more water movement with clean smooth glass

I’ve had a pair of each of these 1600g and 2600g HYGGERS for over a year and they are great! In my reef tank. Easy to set up also. I put a set in the tank and always keep a fresh clean one. Swap them out once a month. They are simple to take apart and clean also. Also SUPER quiet. It sits under my feed cup. The fish love to chase the food. I LOVE the auto feed button also because o don’t need to remember to turn it back on.

Beautiful fish I can’t wait to get some Severums,a question where’d you find that tree decoration??

I'm upgrading my saltwater reef aquarium and I wish I could use this stuff! Such a shame this cheap option isn't an option for a reef; it looks so nice!😩 Another great cheap alternative for freshwater is apparently blasting sand - you can get the stuff made of quartz or garnite and it looks very pretty! Also: non-clumping plain clay cat litter is a great freshwater plant substrate that works as well or better than expensive plant substrates!❤

These guys remind me of saltwater angelfish and I love it❤

That tree is awesome

32 LED biocube coming up on 8 months but been having issues with LPS corals and just started getting more Red Cyano back again. Its been a process, been through diatoms, then red Cyano and some mild GHA. Then had a Phytoplankton spike while the red cyano was taking over, tried a blackout that basically killed the cyano but had to run a UV for a bit to rid the phyto. Then a stubborn Bryopsis outbreak. But my rear glass is about 65% COVERED in purple algae and noticed the sea sponges about 4 months ago. Had tons of those spiral white worms or whatever after about 2 months. Tropic Marin Pro Reef and no dosing currently but prob why im having LPS issues. Starting nitrate and phos dosing in the next few days as 4 fish is not keeping nutrients high enough. Id say I gotta be close to done with the uglies and seems to be maturing....or something

Hygger sent me here, new sub :)

I just found your channel. Thanks for posting this power head unboxing.

Everyone acts like saltwater is impossible. I have a hob w protein skimmer in a 55g and doing just fine. I lost a bunch of fish already between moving and such. It definitely isn't super easy but managble I feel like.

Hello I am having pair of yellow severum but male is not fertili so please guide me for this

Thank you for an interesting video. I live in the UK and have a similar size tank as yours that I set up on the 1st May this year. My first reef tank. What you had to say was very informative and answered lot of my questions about how my tank was maturing. I have subscribed to your channel becuase I am interested in seeing how you progress with reef keeping and hopefully pick up ideas and get answers to some of my many questions about the hobby. Thanks again. Greg

This being one of my favorite channels, question for you. How do you top off this aquarium and how often?

I bought a severum and they told me it is lemon severum can that be right?

get yourself some kind of uv and maybe look into ozone, ozone WILL kill dinos and prevent some algaes but its kind of an advanced thing to do and you need a orp probe. maybe increase feeding to increase nutrients?

How many gallons

raise your tank temp if you have dinos to 82F, it will clear it up. read the reefbuilders article

Good luck

Dr tims waste away works for me, which keeps nitrates and phosphates in check and doesn't zero it out

UV bro.. I struggled with Dino's for months.. ended up finding a UV bulb on eBay for 15 bucks that has suction cup literally like dropping an extra heater in.. 3 days bro tank was freakin transformed.. 1 week completely gone.. for 15 bucks it was worth a try 🤷 the light stays on now 247.. lives in the pump Chamber of my all in one

i think you just need to change the filter more often bro. i used the hang on filter when i started reefing. if you dont remove the waste like you would if you had a sump with a filter sock the issue will never go away. ever since i used a sump i never had dyno issues. only in the begining with a new tank i woud get it and chemiclean once and never had to do it again ever since. you shoudnt have to grow algae to fight something else if it makes your tank that bad looking, and it just comes back after a few months. something aint right. of course i dont know if you dose anything but im assume you know to do the alk and keeping the ph in check for the corals. but theres so many factors that can cause it to not look good. and i dont see a skimmer so im hoping you do water change every week. to fix your issues currently these are the step i would start doing. assuming you dose and check alk above 8.3, water change every week 20%. 70% if you dont dose alk yet. change the filter pad every week. hang on skimmer will help you do less water change. 2 weeks instead at 20%. phyto once a week at night most corals open up to feed during night time, ducans you can feed them during the day. and clean your glass twice a week. its better to have them on rocks then the glass. algae should be an indicator of having too much nutrients in your tank, or the light is on too long. you shouldnt grow it unless you have something to eat it also. if algae grows back in a week like hair. you have way too much nutrients in the tank. and you have to clean the sand bed because the poop from your fish doesnt float to the filter it sinks and just sits at the bottom. way too much waste for a small hang on filter to clean. the filter can only catch the floating micro waste. the water itself isnt cleaned. its like taking a dump in a bucket, you can take the poop out and filter the micro poop dust. but would you still use it to drink? thats exactly how the fish is living in that tank. a skimmer will remove the rest so that you can drink in. well i would also let that water run through a uv light before drinking it. theres no way you havent learned these things after 4 years. but i can help just let me know. Happy Reefing!

I’m sorry bro

Get coral banded shrimp they will eat all bristle worms and arrow crabs too

Thanks friend!

I’m sold on this product! Can’t wait until I am able to set up my 55 gallon

Awesome vid. What's your maintenance schedule like at the start?

really small filter, will get clogged quickly.

good thing I saw this... I was aboutt o buy a power vac for 50 bucks

I always wondered how these things would work. Pretty neat, completely unnecessary, but still neat.
